Another chance to hear Lemn Sissay's Desert Island Discs from October 2015. Interviewed by Kirsty Young.

As a poet, writer and playwright, much of his work tells the story of his search for his birth parents. Born to a young Ethiopian woman who wanted him temporarily fostered while she completed her studies, he was with a family until he was 12. He would spend the next five years in a number of children's homes where he began to write. On leaving care at 17, he self-published his first book of poetry while on the dole.

Several poetry collections, plays and programmes for radio and TV followed and his work has taken him around the world. He was the first poet to be commissioned to write for the 2012 London Olympics and his success has also brought him two doctorates and an MBE for services to literature. He is about to be installed as Chancellor of the University of Manchester, an elected post he will hold for the next seven years. He takes writers' workshops for care-leavers and set up Culture World, the first black writers' workshop.

又有机会听到Lemn Sissay在2015年10月的 "荒岛唱片"。接受Kirsty Young的采访。

作为一名诗人、作家和剧作家，他的大部分作品讲述了他寻找亲生父母的故事。他出生在一个年轻的埃塞俄比亚妇女手中，她希望在她完成学业时暂时寄养他，他在一个家庭中一直待到12岁。接下来的五年里，他在一些儿童福利院度过，在那里他开始写作。17岁离开照料机构后，他在领取救济金期间自行出版了第一本诗集。

随后又出版了几本诗集、剧本和广播电视节目，他的作品被带到了世界各地。他是第一个受委托为2012年伦敦奥运会写作的诗人，他的成功也为他带来了两个博士学位和一个为文学服务的MBE。他即将被任命为曼彻斯特大学校长，他将在未来七年内担任这一职务。他为离开护理中心的人举办作家讲习班，并建立了文化世界，这是第一个黑人作家讲习班。
